Check the wireing diagram
the wiring diagrams seem a bit strange!! as my terminal box is not just numbered 1-10, etc!!!
Change cylinder stat wiring at cylinder stat not junction box.
if old cyl stat has just two wires refit these to honeywell stat con c & 1.

was thinking of doing this, ie just using the original wiring for the new cylinder stat, but as the new stat is a different make i wasn't sure if it'd be ok?!!! thanks 4 help.
Make sure you get this right, as if it's not you'll end super heating the water/steam in the cylinder which can be fatal. Always think what can go wrong.
probs i should buy a like-for-like stat replacement?!!!
why will it super-heat, surely boiler stat will cut in first
the boiler may cycle on the stat but it will still heat the cylinder because the boiler doesn't know when its at tempreature. if the water returns to the boiler slightly lower in temp then the boiler will keep running. I'm just saying be cautious
Op hasn't said what type of system he has, but cylinder stat is only a switch, anyway imho danfoss is the same as honeywell.
I'm a plumber yes. Why is this factually non sense?
sorry, my system is indirect, 900 x 450 cylinder with coils. i have a potterton boiler, grundfos 15-50 circulating pump, close coupled cister with room stat downstairs in living room/hallway and 3 port mid position valve. just was worried if i put a different cylinder stat on that was not the same model it would not work with the other controls in the terminal box properley!!!
